Turner Falls Self-Portraits

Skyler + Kelsey

Last month Skyler and I decided that we seriously needed some photos of us together.

Despite taking photos of anything and everything, Skyler hates getting his photo taken. That seems to be such a guy thing, and it’s so frustrating because as a couple, I love having photos of us together to look back on. So I complained for months, and kept suggesting different friends of ours that could do our photos. However, we have such a busy schedule and were unable to schedule with one of our friends to take some rad photos of us in such a short time frame.

So, we decided to just set up a tripod and do them ourselves.

We wanted an outdoors-y type location, because we LOVE being outside and that’s really what our brand is all about. We decided to drive up to Turner Falls in Oklahoma, luckily it’s not too far from Denton and we made it right in time for golden hour.

Basically, we saw a cute field, parked our truck and hopped the fence.

I’m super happy with how they turned out, and I know that our personalities wouldn’t have been captured quite the same if someone else were taking the photos.

Pro-tip: If you want some cool photos, wear neutrals and a wide-brimmed hat!

We had so much fun doing our photos ourselves, and I’m ready to get back out there and take some more this summer. We’re doing an engagement shoot in this area next weekend, so I can’t wait to see how those will turn out.
